Twice during the past month I have had the pleasure of being part of a wedding at Le Treport Wedding & Convention Centre and both were superb in their own unique way.The first wedding that I was a part of was a two tiered event. The stunning chapel where the wedding ceremony took place was a vision of dazzling loveliness.The reception room right next door was the perfect size to compliment the number of guest for that night .

The second wedding that I was part of was in a larger room but again the staff and management were on top of every single detail of the evening. Working at this venue made my jobs of dj, mc and planner so much easier.

Being in the hospitality industry for the same 30 years that I have Le Treport Wedding & Convention Centre stands as a symbol of quality and excellence. All in all the stunning decor, the excellent staff and fantastic food combine to elevate Le Treport Wedding & Convention Centre to one of my new favourite venues.

Another dilemma that often comes up when planning a wedding is who will walk who down the aisle. Although traditionally it is the father that does this, the plethora of step-families has made it a more difficult decision. This is especially true when the step parents have been in the children’s lives for a long time.

Breaking tradition

A bride that has both a step father and a biological father may opt still to have her biological father walk her down the aisle. This can be a way to show her family bond as well as stick with tradition. In the case of a bride that hasn’t been close to her father, she may opt to have her step father walk her down the aisle. This is a newly emerging sight at weddings, and quite touching.

Of course, if the bride loves both of the men and wants to include them, there’s nothing wrong with having both walk her down the aisle. It honours her relationship with both men and lets them have the chance to hold her arm.

This also holds true for the groom. He can choose to escort both a step mother and his biological mother down the aisle at the beginning is she should choose to. Or the best man can do so, as is tradition.

If the father has passed on, the bride may opt to have an older brother or an uncle walk her down the aisle. Likewise, if the mother of the groom has passed, then a sister or an aunt may want to walk with him.

Dealing with difficulties

While this all seems like a loving and simple solution to include everyone in the wedding, some parents may still have issues with their ex-spouses. And this can lead to bitter feelings about your choice in who walks who down the aisle.

Should you fight for what you want? That’s entirely up to you. If walking with both fathers makes you happy, then you should do that even if the opposite partners are not pleased for whatever reason.

If you feel that it may cause more trouble than it is worth, then you may opt to stick with tradition. Just be sure to include your step parent in some other part of the wedding so they don’t feel left out because of biological status.
